IWBNI it were possible to change the thickness of a given smart shape crescendo or decrescendo independently of all other crescendos and decrescendos. As it is now, the thickness of all smart shape crescendos and decrescendos is controlled by the Crescendo/Decrescendo Line Thickness setting on the Smart Shape Options dialog box.

When a given staff is resized, the thickness of all attached crescendos and decrescendos is changed. With this feature one could for example, make all crescendos and decrescendos have the same thickness throughout a score that contains staves of various sizes.

This could be implemented by adding a menu item called Set Thickness to the context menu that is displayed when a smart shape crescendo or decrescendo is right clicked. This menu item would display a new dialog box called Set Crescendo/Decrescendo Thickness that could contain the following controls:
